Norway | Hereditary Cancer Biobank | M. Dominguez Valentin (Oslo University Hospital, Oslo) | 1,967 familial cancer cases negative for pathogenic variants in the BRCA1/2, PTEN, TP53 or MMR genes. | 11 LoF carriers were identified among 1967 cases (12% colon cancer, 6% rectal cancer, 7% breast cancer, and 6% prostate cancer). Among LoF carriers, 4 had breast or ovarian cancer, 1 colon cancer, 1 testis cancer, 1 thyroid cancer and 4 were healthy members of cancer kindreds. 2 VUS were also identified (0.1%) No reported ORs associated with ATM variants. |

Texas, USA | Clinical Cancer Genetics Program | B. Arun (University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston) | 7,306 patients for hereditary cancer evaluation: breast (68%), genitourinary (10%), pancreatic (5%), thyroid (2%), or ovarian (2%) cancer, melanoma (2%). | 148 deleterious variant carriers (2.0%) were identified and 312 VUS carriers (4.7%). ATM carriers’ distribution by cancer type was: leukemia 4%, pancreatic cancer 3.7%, gynecologic cancer 3.5%, gastrointestinal cancer 2.7%, genitourinary cancer 2.6%, thyroid cancer 1.7% and breast cancer 1.4%. 23% of the ATM variant carriers versus 18% of non-carriers had multiple primary cancers. Moreover, having a family history of breast, pancreatic, or gynecologic cancer, or lymphoma was more common in ATM variant carriers as compared to non-carriers. No reported ORs associated with ATM variants. |
